Stanford’s Affordability Task Force in 2019 highlighted the need to help employees when they occasionally experience personal, short-term financial emergencies. The Employee Emergency Assistance Fund was created so that benefits-eligible employees who cannot resolve their financial difficulty through personal resources can be reimbursed for expenses due to federally declared disasters (up to $1,000) or other qualified “personal hardship” events (up to $5,000). These grants are considered non-taxable income; they are not loans and do not have to be repaid.
